Paul Pridgen, age 75, devoted husband, father and grandfather, passed away at his home in Raleigh, lovingly surrounded by his family, on Wednesday, March 29, 2017.
A memorial service will be held at Colonial Baptist Church on 6051 Tryon Road in Cary, NC on Sunday, April 2, 2017 at 2pm in their chapel, with a reception to follow.

Paul was born on March 22, 1942 in Wilson, NC. He attended Fike High School and graduated with a degree from Atlantic Christian College. Paul married his beloved wife, Janice Joyner Pridgen, and they celebrated 52 years of marriage last summer. They have two daughters, Karen and Susan; loving son-in-laws, John and Erik; and cherished grandchildren, Gabriel, Liana, Vivienne, and Nick. Paul's priorities were his family and his faith in Christ. He retired from IBM after almost 40 years of service. He enjoyed playing golf, traveling, serving at his church, and outings with his grandchildren. Paul will be dearly missed by family and friends.
